hair salons

I came across this video about Nine Zero One Salon in West Hollywood. It looks like a cool place! I'm tempted to book an appointment. I'm so ready for a hair color change--I'm thinking lighter maybe? I'm very bored. And I'm growing out my bangs--still, some more, always. It's brutal, slow process. They are long and stupid and in my face all the time. Maybe some kind of hair cutting magic could fix them? Doubtful. But I will not succumb to the urge to chop them off again. I'm growing them out this time if it kills me.
How's your hair?

Kristen, the gorg blonde Bostonian behind the great blog Triple Max Tons, recently chopped new bangs! I love her new fringe. And I'm totally jealous because hers are perfectly styled, cute, and don't get in her eyes...
Mine are the exact opposite right now. Yes, I'm still trying to grow out my bangs and recently they've taken a dramatic turn from "side-swept" to "crazy lady". They're long enough to constantly get in my eyes, yet short enough to not properly blend into the rest of my hair or tuck behind my ears. As I was styling my hair on ...

Most people tend to gravitate toward darker hair colors in the fall and winter months, but there’s something totally brilliant about flipping it and going platinum instead. Michelle Halpern turned herself from a self proclaimed mousy brunette into an absolutely stunning platinum blonde and took StyleCaster along for the ride! Check it out...
Michelle headed to ION Studio NYC for her hair color transformation, but first she needed her grown out bob updated. Sara Lynch, one of the salon's top stylists, used a point cutting technique on Michelle’s naturally thick and curly hair. This technique thins out the hair's weight and ...

Our hairstyling guru/blog bff, Anna-Lee Fiorino (on right) from Chaz Dean Studio is doing something super amazing right now--she's styling model's hair for New York Fashion Week! And she took the time to chat with Hair On The Brain about her experience so far...
Hair On The Brain: I know this is your first time doing hair for NY Fashion Week. How did you get the opportunity?
Anna-Lee: Wen by Chaz Dean is doing the hair for the QVC Fashion Week shows, and I got into contact with a friend Joseph DiMaggio who was keying the Jen Kao show and he hooked ...

Hair On The Brain reader Amy K is in loooves with Jessica Stroup's haircut. I mean, of course. Jessica's haircut is the epitome of cool girl hair. Amy is considering taking the leap and getting "The Stroup"--chopping a good 8-10 inches off her hair! So, I've been trying to find out who Jessica's stylist is. I found a bunch of press photos of Jessica at Nine Zero One Salon's grand opening and book party (hmmm), and on Nine Zero One's website, the owner/stylist Riawna Capri names Jessica Stroup as one of her clients. So, maybe Riawna did Jessica's cut? Although, ...

Hilary Duff stepped out of Byron & Tracey Salon in Bev Hills yesterday (Aug. 19) with newly darkened and shortened locks! Fresh from her Mexican honeymoon with hockey player/husband Mike Comrie, Hilary dyed her bright blonde hair a richer strawberry blonde. She paired her new look with dark red vampy lips, which I've been seeing a lot of recently. I really like Hilary's new hair color. I think it looks so pretty with her brown eyes.
What do you think of Hilary's new hue?

Khloe Kardashian is in New York for last night's 2010 World Basketball Festival, which totally sounds like a made-up thing, but I'm pretty sure is real. Anyway. Khloe paid a visit to the Rita Hazan Salon in New York City to get ready for the bb fest. Stylist Juan Carlos Maciques styled her hair by first setting it in small rollers for major volume. Then he enhanced the curls with a large barrel curling iron and set it with Texture Infinium 3 by L’Oreal. Of all the things you can say about those Kardashian sisters... Their hair always looks fab! ...

If you have bangs, you know how it feels when they are way past due for a trim, and you're stranding in front of the mirror with a pair of kitchen shears (or worse, cuticle scissors!) trying to clip them back into submission. My advice? Put down the scissors and pick up the phone and dial your stylist's number. Almost every stylist will do bang trims for free!
That said, if you must trim your own bangs, don’t attempt it without these top 5 snippy tips from celeb hairstylist, Riccardo Maggiore from the Riccardo Maggiore Salon, on how to cut your ...
